Shytorque, I guess you do know already that ice can form at *ambient* temperatures above zero where there is a cooling effect from expansion - the obvious example being carb icing. But would such an effect occur on the airframe? Any low pressure area could be a candidate, such as behind slots in flaps, behind objects projecting into the airstream etc.
